Hi all.
I'm unsuccessfully trying to run vmware.service via systemd on Fedora 19.
Kernel Info: 3.10.3-300.fc19.x86_64
VMware player: VMware-Player-5.0.2-1031769.x86_64.bin
altus# rpm -qa |grep vmware
xorg-x11-drv-vmware-13.0.1-1.fc19.x86_64
When I try to run vmware player from the GUI (), first I get messagebox saying "Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel" and when I click on Install button, nothing happens. Here are some logs generated on button click:

After that I tried to run systemctl start vmware.service but if FAILS.
altus# systemctl start vmware.service
Job for vmware.service failed.

Has anyone achieved to start vmware service on systemd? Am I missing some modules or what? Also, If you need output of some other logs I currently can't remember, I will be glad to post it here.
Help please!
